Kearney McWilliams & Davis, PLLC handles Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering patents, with 928 career applications. The firm has achieved a resolved allowance rate pct of 86.13. There are 5 pending office actions currently active. The 86.13 resolved allowance rate pct indicates the success across its 928 career applications in this technology area. The 5 pending office actions are fewer than the 928 career applications.
The prosecution process averages 3.5 office actions per allowance. This suggests that the firm engages in negotiation with the USPTO to secure allowances. The 86.13 resolved allowance rate pct shows success, even with the 3.5 avg office actions per allowance required. This data helps practitioners understand the typical effort needed to reach a grant in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering with this firm. These metrics provide a basis for planning the resources required for patent examination.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.

| §103 only | 1 (17%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (33%) |
